Jack P Shepherd has hinted that a wedding could be ahead for David Platt and Shona Ramsey in Coronation Street but has warned that they will always be overshadowed by her killer son Clayton Hibbs, fuelling speculation that Kylie’s killer could be set to return to the show.

David and Shona were almost ripped apart by the revelation that Clayton was her son but as the thuggish teen serves his prison sentence, they have built a life together with David even proposing to Shona recently. It might have been a bit too soon back then as David was still rebuilding his shattered mental health in the wake of his rape ordeal at the hands of Josh Tucker – but as he continues to find himself in a better place, will Shona reconsider marriage?

And if so, will the specter of Clayton ruin their chances of a happy future?

Speaking to the Inside Soap Yearbook, Jack said: ‘I would like to see Shona and David get hitched soon but I don’t want any of this bistro wedding nonsense! Everyone’s done it. If we do it, I want it to be a proper church and then a big do at a stately home.

‘Are David and Shona rock solid now? There’s no such thing in Weatherfield! They’ve been through a lot but the fact her son killed David’s wife is always going to be in the background.’

If that isn’t a hint of things to come, then we don’t know what is! But despite stormy waters being a potential down the line for the couple – and also the death of Lewis Archer to rock the family in the new year – Jack promised some lighter times for David too, including plenty of his infamous sarcastic jibes.

He smiled: ‘Everything has got to be more light and fun. There are lots of David quips coming! Everyone tells me how funny David is – where’s my Funniest Male award!?’
